Sitges Pride is coming to its thirteenth edition from 5 to 9 June with the expectation of more than 45.000 people in Sitges to take part in the events organised during these five days. This event has been ranked as one of the top 5 LGBTIQA+ Pride events in the world by CNN, National Geographic, among others, and has recently been ranked by the travel guide Lonely Planet as one of the 12 best places to celebrate Pride in Europe.

This year’s Sitges Parade, under the slogan #sitgeslovesyou, invites visitors to showcase the “True Colours” and claim Sitges as a haven for the LGBTIQA+ community and a welcoming destination.

The highlight of the event will be the Parade, the Pride Parade, which will take place on Sunday, June 9, at 5 p.m. on Passeig de La Ribera. The tour will feature 19 floats and more than 2.000 participants to claim equality and the rights of the collective. The starting point will be from the outside of the Kansas restaurant towards the Fragata and back along the Passeig de la Ribera to reach the Hotel Calipolis with Avenida Sofia.

According to the organisation, the event is expected to register almost 100% occupancy in hotels and apartments in Sitges.
